"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls.""There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline.""One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual.""The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better.""We are very satisfied with the performance.""Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server."

Cons
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions.""Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved.""It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS).""It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets.""Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future.""There are occasional OS bugs.""I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient.""If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Cons →

"The product must provide better warranties.""Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently.""When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed.""The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates.""During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface.""The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations.""The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far.""It is not a stable solution."
